Palfinger Epsilon Crane M110Z79 with 7.9 m reach. The Palfinger Epsilon M110Z79 crane has a reach of 7.9 meters and features a high seat with manual controls mounted on the seat. Like every Palfinger Epsilon crane, this model has hydraulic hoses hidden inside the crane boom, protective covers on the main and auxiliary cylinders, and is coated using the KTL process, providing additional corrosion resistance. The crane is equipped with an Epsilon FG53 grapple with a volume of 0.50 m² and a lifting capacity of 5000 kg.
The forestry platform, designed and manufactured at PK’s production facility, is made of high-strength steel. The auxiliary chassis, as the most critical component of the truck’s superstructure, is constructed from 6 mm thick steel, offering both high durability and lightweight properties, ultimately increasing the useful payload. The platform is equipped with ExTe D10 telescopic aluminum stakes with steel beams.
